Oh look! The sock guy has got the whole laundry basket out to play.

Correct, Islam is not a race. You score half a point for that stunning observation.

Are you pro-Muslim, Git?

I'm anti-racist pig sphincter. Is that a problem for you?

No. But that doesn't answer the question. I'll ask again, for the third time, are you pro-Muslim?

Well, OK, I could give another smart arse answer but just for you this once I'll give you the straight up answer - I'm neither pro nor anti Muslim. Frankly, I don't give a rats what they do or do not believe in.

Now your turn: Are you a racist pig sphincter?

It's very telling that a simple question devoid of any ad hominem sends you into a rage. I've hit a nerve here.

That aside, if you're neither anti or pro Muslim, then your position is one of indifference. Then why would you get angry at those who dislike Muslims?

Well, you do to an extent. Multiculturalism tolerates or celebrates, depending on which way you look at it, different cultures. Therefore, you have to be pro-Muslim enough to allow it to exist. If you're indifferent, like our friend Git here has just confessed, then it shouldn't matter to him how they're viewed.

What an absolute load of Bollocks ..... you rednecks have no idea

Any refugee in Indonesia can NEVER get a job, Never own a home or business, they live in jails, slums or on the streets begging and stealing for enough food to survive .....the odd ones that do work, do so for cash money only and usually at a lessor rate than an Indonesian may get for the same job .....they have no rights ... this isn't living ... it's no way to raise a family or plan for a future ... I'd like to see any one of you morons settle for that .....

So these people smugglers obviously don't charge anything...so on your argument they're humanitarians giving a lift to refugees out of the goodness of their hearts...

It doesnt matter if they have any money if they cant get accommodation or food or a job Savings will go fast Besides i think most of them get the money form relatives already settled in other countries.

SOB

So Indonesia is happy to have them until the money runs out?

http://freefunnypixs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/YouFailfish.jpg

SOB

Congratulations on being devoid of an argument or a point.

Congratulations for being a dick. So where exactly did i say anything about indonesia being happy to have them? Did you read the smacking thread?

Ok idiot. Baby talk.

Your point: ppl smugglers work for free and indonesia welcomes refugees

My point:
Refugees are not welcome in indonesia.
Refugees cannot get a job or home or go to school in indonesia
If they are caught refugees get locked up in indonesia
Sometimes refugees have relatives that can send them money so they can get out of indonesia

SOB

You send them money and a decent boat then kunt...

Rather than misrepresenting others.

I read your fn thread and like most of the shyte you seem to squeeze out is largely anecdotal, unsubstantiated, suppositions on your part and very short on any sort of substantiation.

You an ignorant twat...your mother said so...although it was a bit difficult to understand seeing as she had her mouth full and I was at the other end.

At one time people in Australia expected anyone to get a fair go. This is irrespective of if you agree with them or not. You do not need to be pro anything in order to expect people who are to be treated in a reasonable manner.

I don't agree. Treating people in a reasonable manner means you must be pro-human to some degree.

Australia signed the refugee convention and agreed to grant asylum to genuine refugees.....Refugees are not recognised by Indonesia making it impossible for them to get a job or make a living in Indonesia.....The argument you put forward just proves how you have no idea what you are talking about as usual.....It is not illegal to seek sanctuary in any country who has signed the refugee convention and anyone who makes such claims is ignorant and stupid!!!

Roll Eyes

Ignorance gives one a large range of probabilities.
George Eliot (1819 - 1880)

SO why did thy travel to Indonesia and lie to the Indonesians about the purpose of the trip?

About the sanctuary - they o not want sanctuary in Australia, they want permanent settlement.

Normally, a refugee flees the troubles and waits in the nearest safe haven to be resettled in a country that wants him. Post-war refugees did not fly to Indonesia or Cuba and sailed for Australia or the US and then claim refuge. They fled to the US/UK/French occupation areas of Europe and asked for [protection and waited until one of the re-settling countries took them.
Big diff.

Yes the big diff being that they were processed in a month or two and settled into a job. Not imprisoned for years.

Really?

You should ring the BBC and correct them and their sources:

Poland and Slovakia pogroms broke out, in which Jews were killed. Over 100,000 Jews infiltrated to the western powers' occupation zones in Germany and Austria. Most sought permission to enter Palestine - but the British mandatory government there denied entry to all save a handful. They therefore remained stuck for years in so-called displaced persons' camps.

Not even close on that one.

OK, just for you, sans any ad-hom so you'll feel warm and safe:

Pro or anti muslim does not equate to indifference. The issue is intolerance, not religion or race for that matter. I am intolerant of intolerance. That means I dislike people who dislike muslims. Is that clear enough for you?

Your 'intolerance of intolerance' doesn't really work. Otherwise, you'd be intolerant of your own intolerance toward me. So we are back to square one: If you're defending them you must be doing so on some grounds. Hence, there must be something about them that's worth defending.
